Chapter 413 Arriving in Qingzhou
"It doesn't matter, as long as they can keep up, let them follow!"

Li Xuan said indifferently.

These caravans all came out of the inn, maybe they thought it would be safer to follow them.Li Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to this.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng Fu responded with a salute.

Anyway, Li Xuan and the others pay the toll as they should, and those merchants can't afford tolls!
From Chang'an City to Qingzhou, it first passes through Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and then along the Yellow River, all the way to the east until Qingzhou.

Every time he went to a big city, Li Xuan would take Cui Mi and the others for a walk around the city.

Especially in Luoyang and Zhengzhou, many great families came to visit him, the King of Jin.

Li Xuan didn't pay attention to it, but sent Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde to deal with it.

In this regard, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were full of joy, and they were able to stand in place of the king, proving that the king really took them into the mansion.

When they arrived in Zhengzhou, Zheng Yuanzhe, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, personally brought a group of elders to greet him.

Li Xuancai brought Old Man Xiong, Li Chengqian and others to appear in person, and accompanied them to the banquet.

But it was only for one night, and by the way, let Li Chengqian and other bastards visit Zheng's house, and then continued their journey.

So far, along the way, except for a few aristocratic families who are closely related, no one has paid attention to it.

Along the way, encountering cities and entering cities, encountering mountains and crossing mountains, encountering rivers and crossing rivers!

It took more than 20 days to pay a total of six tolls, and finally arrived in Qingzhou.

"The next official Qingzhou Inspector Renbiao sees His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"The last general, Qingzhou Zhechong Duwei Cheng Duanbo, see His Royal Highness King Jin!"

A group of Qingzhou officials, along with Qingzhou Inspector Situ Biao and Qingzhou Zhechong Captain Cheng Duanbo, stood respectfully outside Qingzhou City to welcome Li Xuan.

As for the specific backgrounds of Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and the others, no one dared to reveal them, so these people did not know that there were two people with more noble backgrounds hidden in the King Jin's motorcade.

"You don't need to be too polite, this king is just taking the princess home to visit relatives!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, as a salute, and refused the banquet of these officials himself.

Hearing this, all the Qingzhou officials were startled.

His Royal Highness King Jin didn't seem to be as tyrannical and difficult to get along with.

Then, before all the officials could open their mouths to invite again, Li Xuan handed over again.

"Everyone, this king is exhausted all the way, so I will send the princess to Cui's house first. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you all for coming to welcome me!"

"Your Highness, you are welcome. I am the one who interrupted you."

Si Renbiao and Cheng Duanbo, the chief civil and military officials of Qingzhou, hurriedly saluted Li Xuan apologetically.

Immediately, he quickly led a group of officials to get out of the way.

Li Xuan cupped his hands again and got into the carriage.

All the way in, all the people in the city looked at this huge horse-drawn carriage team with regret.

Cui's main house is in Dongcheng, Qingzhou.

Therefore, Li Xuan and other convoys have traversed most of Qingzhou City.

The Cui family is one of the five surnames and seven kings, and one of the top aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty. The main house of the Cui family is very splendid and spacious, covering an area of ​​more than 60 mu.

On both sides of the main house street, people from the Cui family also live.

When Li Xuan's motorcade arrived at the gate, Cui Xuanlan from the Cui family had already brought all the direct descendants of the Cui family, waiting eagerly at the gate.

"Wow~"

Following the long queue-like convoy, all members of the Cui family couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, their faces full of shock.

A team of more than 40 carriages can be easily formed by a small steward of the Cui family.

However, each of such a large four-wheeled carriage is exactly the same. They have never seen it before, and it is impossible to assemble it. It is very shocking to them.

Then, when the convoy stopped, five hundred soldiers, dozens of servants and maidservants emerged from the carriages, and all the members of the Cui family couldn't help but widen their eyes, full of shock.

This His Royal Highness King Jin is actually using such a luxurious carriage to carry soldiers and servants.

"Old man Cui Xuanlan, see the elders, see His Royal Highness King Jin, and see you gentlemen!"

As Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others got off the car, Cui Xuanlan hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

However, the main target was still Li Yuan, which made some members of the Cui family who didn't know about it feel suspicious again.

Cui Xuanlan and other direct descendants of the Cui family ignored this.

The Supreme Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince are traveling together, such a big event, how can outsiders know about it.

As for the courtiers who knew that Li Chengqian came out with Li Xuan, they didn't dare to tell those members of the aristocratic family casually.

"I've seen Aye, I've seen A Niang!"

After the members of the Cui family met Li Xuan and the others, it was Cui Mi who greeted Cui Xuanlan.

After another burst of tearful crying and greetings, all the talents entered the mansion.

In the evening, Li Xuan and others lived in a compound next door to Cui's residence, covering an area of ​​more than 20 mu, with hundreds of rooms, which could accommodate Li Xuan and others.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xuan and the others slept together until the sun was high before getting up.

In the afternoon, I took Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others around the city and rested at night.

For three days in a row, it was so leisurely.

Seeing this, all the officials in Qingzhou subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

From this situation, it seems that His Royal Highness Prince Jin really just brought the princess back to visit his relatives.

However, at the same time when all the officials were full of joy, they heard the news that His Royal Highness Prince Jin had left the city with a large group of people!

"Do you know where King Jin went and how many troops he brought with him?"

In Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, Situ Biao hurriedly asked the servant below.

"Returning to the envoy, His Royal Highness King Jin came out from the east gate with two hundred cavalry. The speed was too fast, and the villain did not find out where King Jin went?"

The boy quickly replied.

Hearing that he was heading east, Situ Biao's expression changed, and then a smile flashed across his face.

"King Jin is going east, so don't bother, it should be to the shipyard!"

"Make you wise!"

The servant below quickly complimented him.

Hearing this, a smug look flashed across Situ Biao's face.

Bie Jia on the side also had a slight expression on his face, and he continued to say with a sincere compliment, "My envoy, from this point of view, that King Jin or His Majesty value that shipyard very much!"

"Hmm! Shang Ming's words are justified!"

Situ Biao also subconsciously nodded.

"Starting tomorrow, let those yamen servants go to the shipyard to patrol more. If they have any needs, they must report to me quickly!"

"Yes, envoy!"

Don't drive hastily hand in hand.

In fact, in the depths of his heart, it doesn't matter whether he sends yamen servants to patrol or not.

The shipyard was built in a harbor [-] miles outside Qingzhou City, where the weather is usually calm, and the deepest part of the water is three feet deep, so it is most suitable for building a shipyard.

Moreover, he also went to watch the completed shipyard from a distance.

A gray house, as strong as a city wall.

Moreover, there was a group of troops from Chang'an City guarding the shipyard closely. Even if they went, they would watch them vigilantly, which made them uncomfortable.

In Qingzhou, apart from the governor's mansion, Captain Zhechong, and those aristocratic families, no one in the shipyard needs to be afraid.

As for the shipyard specially built by His Majesty, unless it is necessary, the Governor's Mansion, Captain Zhechong, and those aristocratic families will not harass it.

Therefore, the shipyard will not have any need for their help.
